Support as nominator --Broccolo (talk) 18:26, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support The image is overloaded with images, but this puts it in context the best. The resolution could be better, but it's sufficient. Aaadddaaammm (talk) 18:57, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support - Wonderful composition, although the resolution is pretty borderline to me. --Xijky (talk) 19:21, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Support The center of the picture seems to need a little more contrast. Clegs (talk) 11:14, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment -- Is it me, or do the colors seem odd/artificial? And while it's certainly a majestic photo, I think it should be cropped a little tighter to the building. JBarta (talk) 16:01, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's not just you. This shot, for example, shows that the building is actually pretty darn white. Makeemlighter (talk) 02:10, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Colors and too small. Makeemlighter (talk) 02:10, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The resolution is 3,193 pixels, and required resolution is only 1,000 pixels. Size is not a reason IMO -- George Chernilevsky ^talk 16:41, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The building itself, the subject of the picture, takes up very few pixels. Makeemlighter (talk) 17:43, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The picture places the subject in context of its enviroment. A picture of just the building would have been boring compared to this dramatic scene. Saffron Blaze (talk) 07:11, 26 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment What a strange image to compare. Not only the building itself, but also the sky at the image you compared the nominated one to is "pretty darn white". Why don't you compare to this one http://www.flickr.com/photos/jef/4931903975/#/photos/jef/4931903975/lightbox/ instead? At least this image was taken at sunset time http://www.flickr.com/photos/jef/4931903975/meta/in/photostream/ like the nominated one. Of course the colors of the building and the cliffs depend on the light. The resolution, maybe I am missing on something but isn't it more than three times greater than required? The subject of the picture is Cliff House from Ocean Beach as it is stated in the name of the nomination. The building itself has very little interest. It is its surroundings that make it famous, but even, if only the building and its reflection were cropped out, the image would have been still around 1.4 megapixels. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.126.32.88 (talk) 03:54, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Very artistic photo, nice colors and EV. -- George Chernilevsky ^talk 16:41, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support As per Mr Chernilevsky. Saffron Blaze (talk) 13:37, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Per Makeemlighter. Otto Jula (talk) 03:16, 26 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support clear photo showing the building in its environment. I'm not sure about the colors but maybe this is how the building looks at sunset. Pine^talk 08:06, 26 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Beautiful colors. -- 128.12.109.227 (talk) 01:44, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
